Growing up in San Diego, the “most beautifully city in the U.S.”, it’s only appropriate that Elle found herself drawn to the industry of makeup. In her teens, Elle began a dance studio with her mother and quickly found her passion for dance transforming into an obsession for makeup and beauty. Upon completing her degree in marketing, Elle formally began her career with Paris-based cosmetic company Make Up Forever. From there Elle expanded her knowledge of the beauty industry by managing two high-profile Los Angeles salons.

Since becoming a full-time makeup artist 10 years ago, Elle has become known for her passion for beauty and noted professionalism. She has developed a following who count on her for fresh, flawless and radiant faces for all media types and events. In addition to her well-known celebrity faces many of her clients are the young stars of Hollywood. Her work can be seen in publications from Teen Vogue to Bazaar to Foam.

Besides her top-level makeup and grooming skills, Elle also brings many qualities that make her the complete professional for any client. Beautiful, mediagenic, an active participant in all forms of social media and branding Elle strives to bring her passion for beauty to every client and job. Whether educating and teaching to learning cutting edge techniques and harvesting feedback Elle continuously demonstrates why clients not only love her work but all the other intangible qualities that make her who she is.

I can't wait to talk with you about your up coming event!! Please call or email, I look forward to hearing from you

REVIEWS

I work with a lot of hair and make up artists in my industry. The first time Elle did my make up my skin and eyes were very tired. She gave me a mini facial and special pads to put around my eyes while i was getting my hair done. I have never had a make up artist care so much about my skin. You are not only getting a hair and make up artist but a licensed esthetician. I knew she did beautiful work soon after. She achieved an insanely beautiful look but I felt like I had next to nothing on my face. It was smooth and gorgeous. I asked her to do my wedding make up that day.

I booked Elle well in advance because I knew the quality of her work but she was always very responsive to all of my emails or texts. On the wedding day she was by far the most attentive to my needs as the bride. She even sorted out an issue with the florist over the flower in my hair. She did a beautiful job on my make up as usual and was sure that I liked it before she left. She left with my maid of honor a 'kit' of all the things i would need for touch ups throughout the night.

You won't regret booking elle on your wedding day!

I loved Elle the minute I met her for my hair and makeup trial. Not only is she extremely talented at what she does, and very professional, she is super fun and laid-back. She had no problem tweaking things so they would be exactly how I wanted them, and was able to create the look I wanted without much trouble at all! On my wedding day she was awesome, working efficiently and keeping me calm all at the same time :) My bridesmaids and I looked incredible at my wedding, and we owe it all to Elle and her wonderful assistant! I would highly recommend her services to any bride, she is just awesome! :)

Elle is awesome. I just had her do hair and makeup for myself and my bridesmaids/moms/grandma for my wedding this past weekend. Prior to that I had done 2 trials with her so everthing turned out exactly how I wanted it. (After the first trial I realized I wanted extensions to make my bun look bigger, so then I wanted a second trial. Elle even took the time to go out and buy extensions for me which was great cuz I had a very busy schedule).

She is great with emails and is very professional. She showed up early on the big day She had planned on having her assistant come to help do all the hair/makeup, however, the assistant was a no show. Elle said shd had never had that happen before and I never did find out what happened to her assistant. However, to Elle's credit she immediately got on the phone and got another makeup artist down there. Although we got a little behind schedule, Elle made the best of a situation that was out of her control. She is also very sweet. I highly recommend her!

Elle is one of the most talented make-up artists I have ever worked with. She made all of my 9 bridesmaids look absolutely stunning but best of all she made me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt. Looking at my pictures I get teary eyed at how wonderful I felt that day and Elle was a big part of that. My make-up lasted all through the day and night and everyone commented on perfect it was. She is 100% reliable, extremely friendly, flexible with everyone's likes and dislikes - I couldn't have asked for a more perfect experience. She was one of my favorite people to work with on my wedding, she gave me moral support and was doing her job over and above what was expected. I can't say enough nice things about Elle, I was so lucky to have found her and that she was available on my wedding weekend.

Elle and her assistant did hair and make-up for me, the Bride, the bridesmaids, mothers of the bride and groom and the flower girls. She was extremely responsive and flexible during the wedding planning and trial run. It was a pleasure to have Elle be a part of our day getting ready, she is friendly, professional and fun to be around. The hair and make-up that Elle did for all the ladies was beautiful, very natural and exactly what we wanted. I would highly recommend Elle to be a part of your wedding day!

Elle was the makeup artist for my wedding. I met Elle in 2009 when I did my trial run with her. Not only is Elle a fantastic make-up artist but she is very professional, sweet and helpful. I sent her several emails prior to my wedding and Elle always responded quickly and provided very helpful information while all the wiling to go the extra mile to make sure I was happy. Elle showed up for my wedding on time and ready to go. She did a incredible job on each bridesmaid as well as the myself. It was getting a bit hectic in my suite as we were wrapping up and I Elle stepped right in to help me with things like buckling my shoes, buttoning my dress, etc. All things she didn't need to help with but that is just the type of person Elle is!

Elle was super helpful, accommodating and awesome in helping me prepare for my wedding. I wear almost no makeup in my day to day life, so during the trial runs, she was very helpful in putting together a look that was right for me and that I was comfortable in. On the day of the wedding she came to our room and set up to take care of me, my bridesmaids (including hair) and my mom. Everything was wonderful on my wedding day and Elle was instrumental in making that happen. I felt beautiful but still felt like me, which was exactly what I wanted. She was fun to work with and I feel like I gained a friend. I recommend Elle very, very highly. She's a true professional while still maintaining a friendly and fun attitude.
